Adventure Club:
Removing Financial Barriers. Creating More Opportunities. Saying YES to Adventure.
At Homeward Bound, we believe everyone deserves opportunities to get out, explore, connect and experience something new.
Adventure Club helps make that possible.
From trips to the zoo and community events to camp, outdoor recreation and travel, Adventure Club helps remove the barriers that can make these experiences difficult to access for the people we support.
What Is the Adventure Club Fund?
Every Homeward Bound resident deserves the opportunity to participate in meaningful experiences, regardless of their personal financial resources or which of our 22 homes they live in.
Some homes have funds available through Made in the Shade fundraising, family contributions, or other resources to help cover outings and adventures. Others don’t have those same dollars available.
Adventure Club helps bridge that gap.
The fund provides additional financial support so that residents across all 22 homes have greater access to recreation, travel, and community experiences.
Our goal isn’t to replace the resources residents and homes already have. It’s to make sure that when those resources fall short, the opportunity for adventure doesn’t have to end there.
November 1–19: Your Gift Could Do Even More
Give to the Max Day is November 19, but you don’t have to wait until then to make your gift.
Early Giving begins November 1.
From November 1–19, every gift made to Homeward Bound through GiveMN supports Adventure Club and gives Homeward Bound opportunities to receive additional prize funding.
Your Gift Could Unlock a Golden Ticket
Throughout Early Giving and Give to the Max Day, GiveMN awards additional prizes to participating Minnesota nonprofits and schools.
That means your gift to Homeward Bound through GiveMN could be randomly selected and unlock additional funding for our mission.
NOVEMBER 1
Early Giving begins. Make your gift early and help us build momentum.
NOVEMBER 1–18
Keep the momentum going. Gifts made during Early Giving are eligible for GiveMN prize opportunities.
NOVEMBER 19
GIVE TO THE MAX DAY
Join Minnesotans across the state in supporting the organizations and causes that matter to them.
Why Give During This Window?
Your gift already helps Adventure Club make recreation, travel and new experiences more accessible.
During Give to the Max, that same gift could help Homeward Bound receive even more.
You give. Adventure Club grows. Your gift could unlock additional support.
Help Us Make the Most of Give to the Max
You don’t have to wait until November 19.
Starting November 1, make your gift through GiveMN and help us build toward Give to the Max Day.
The Season of Giving Starts with Cheers to You!
Before Give to the Max Day, join us for Cheers to You!, our Donor Appreciation Happy Hour, on Tuesday, November 17, from 4 to 6 p.m. at Utepils Brewing.
Come celebrate what we’ve accomplished this year, learn more about our mission, and hear where we’re headed next! Existing donors receive a complimentary drink ticket as our thank you, and new supporters are always welcome. Every pint sold gives $1 back to Homeward Bound.
Bring a friend and help us fill the taproom! Admission is free, and RSVPs are encouraged but not required.
The Campaign Continues
Give to the Max Day is an important part of our fall campaign, but our work doesn’t end on November 19.
We’ll continue raising support for Adventure Club through GivingTuesday and our Year-End Campaign, creating more opportunities for the individuals we support to get out, explore, and experience more.
Help make the next adventure possible.
